Opponents of Same Sex Marriage: Stuck on the Wrong Side

A NEW advertising campaign, “Not Alone”, is making the rounds on social media. It flashes through a conspicuously diverse array of Americans brought together by a shared feeling of alienation. “I’m a little bit nervous about people hearing I’m this way, and then thinking, uh well, she’s not welcome here,” a woman begins. Another cuts in: “I would say I’m different; we’re all different.” A man confesses, “Pretty scary… You wonder, how many people can I really, truly, honestly be open with?”

These people are ready to come out. After a few more suspense-building displays of vulnerability and hand-wringing, they finally confess: they believe that “marriage is between a man and a woman.”
